FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We respect competitors who perfected residential routing — you may even run their product today. PMS wins evaluations when your revenue and risk live in commercial properties that refuse to be treated like stop 18 on a spray-and-go loop.

How we answer evaluation questions

Three lenses we hold to while sales conversations get serious.

Evaluating PMS vs residential-first workflows

How is PMS different from residential-first tools? Residential-first products optimize stop speed for a solo route. PMS optimizes what an owner with a book of accounts needs: recurring obligations, per-pool history, proof the tech captures on site, and profit per account — not just weekly stop counts.

Do you support mixed commercial + residential routes? Yes. Most pool companies run both — homes, HOAs and small commercial accounts — and residential stays your bread and butter. PMS keeps one operating rhythm across all of them, with the proof and profit-per-account visibility a bigger account demands.

Field reliability and getting started

Can technicians work offline or with low connectivity? Field reliability is a roadmap theme. Today's architecture assumes structured mobile capture with sync-friendly contracts; we prioritize regions where carriers disappear behind concrete pump rooms. Ask for the current offline posture in your demo geography.

How do I get started without chaos? Onboarding is phased: import your customers and pools, get your routes and schedule in, then bring the crew onto the mobile app. We sequence it so your day-to-day keeps running while you switch over.

Proof for your customers and billing roadmap

What can you show a customer who asks for proof? Every visit carries chemistry, a checklist and photos, so the service report is already written when a homeowner or an HOA board asks 'was the pool actually serviced?'. Roll-ups emphasize completion, exceptions and chemistry drift, not cosmetic charts.

When does self-serve checkout arrive? What runs today already covers the work: routes, proof of visit, invoicing and profit per account. Self-serve checkout comes after legal and metering mature — and these pages always mirror what actually ships.
